Srsly. They made Fantasy a shirt with his name on it with the team logo and fly their players around to tournaments. I still remember them flying fantasy to switzerland or something just for better iem katowice qualifier latency. Reading about this shady ass team is pretty disheartening. I wonder if MC is even being paid.

Yeah dPix definitely takes good care of their players (or in the very least Fantasy).

Hi Guys
I am newbie to this site and to esport as it functions today, although I was competing in the original doom and subspace before many if you were even around :-)
Anyhow, I came across this forum when doing research on Trig. They have asked me to do some work for them so I thought I would try to find out more about them before I signed up. This forum came up.

By the way, the whole valuation of the business is "interesting". The valuation (€1 billion) is based on the amount of shares and their value as traded on the stock exchange and not the actual business value. If you have a limited number of shareholders and the price you released the shares at was €3 per share and there were 3,2 million shares you end up with a €1 billion company. However, as none of the shareholders are willing to trade, the price stays put even though it is artificial. You end up with, at least on paper, a one billion euro company. :-D But at this stage it is just the perceived value of of the business (by a few individuals) whether it is substantiated or not. I would probably agree that as yet, it is unsubstantiated and potentially inflated. That on it's own does not scare me that much.

So far, all info I have assimilated here is more or less what I have found with a few extras. Saying that, I have probably found more about the owners than what was presented here. Including PCs business ventures in UK.
At the moment I have still not made up my mind if I will work for them and this why I am here now. Forgetting the background of the owners, what would you guys see as the main things to be sorted out to improve the perception of Trig?
I am trying to figure out if it is worth my while to get involved or whether I should just to stay away.

I can only speak personally but even if they actually made eSports arenas in Dubai I still wouldn't be able to get past the owners' past/present and support them

In case you speak german, or have someone at hand, that could translate it for you:

http://www.readmore.de/news/23231-trig-sucht-neuen-bilanzprfer-und-anwalt

I don't feel able to give a full translation (as I do not want to be liable for eventual mistranslations), but in short it is about their auditors ending the cooperation due to various issues regarding clarity of information and doubt about their financial numbers. Also the article links another interesting site: http://www.bafin.de/SharedDocs/Veroeffentlichungen/EN/Verbrauchermitteilung/Marktmanipulation/vm_150310_warnung_empfehlung_trig_social-media_en.html;jsessionid=541A4FA7EB1666371B28E30D76B7E292.1_cid381 (link goes to the english news, the article originally links the german version)

The owners have run a number of scam companies already (this is at least what I found from just googling for a little bit), I don't see why Trig would be any different. And thus to me it feels like what ever value they bring to esports is completely negated by the fact that they are most likely just trying to gain credibility and get more people to join their pyramid scheme, which they call their "social media platform".
